Easter

It’s Easter Sunday, did you know that? It’s one of the earliest days Easter can be on. Rarely does Easter fall in March – it won’t be in March again until 2024.The 22nd is actually the earliest it can be, but that won’t happen for a long time (the year will be 2285 – I may not be around to see it). And don’t get me started with Greek Easter…

And what of the Easter bunny? I just found out that it originated in Germany with the Lutherans – and yes, there were eggs involved. There are a bunch of theories about bunnies and eggs, but they all seem to be guesses based on working backwards from bunnies and eggs. Fertility symbols in the spring sounds pretty good. I’m sure that had a lot to do with it.

Easter was big in my Catholic family back in the day – there are inevitable photos of us in our Easter suits, Easter mass, Easter ham, chocolate Easter egg hunts with baskets, etc. Those days – long gone. We’re going to try to find a brunch at a nice restaurant with our son this year.

Who better to ring in Easter than the artists on this week’s podcast: the Butthole Surfers, Swamp Dogg, Nick Lowe, Rachel Sweet, the Remains, Peter Tosh, Hank Ballard, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the First Edition, Television, the Kinks, Elton John, the Searchers, the Records, the Dum Dum Girls, and Small Faces. Good boys and girls, one and all.
